what'sthe lowest mpg you have gotten with your p5?

[newprot5fan]

Just curious about how crappy our mpg can get. It is winter here in NS, and I have winter tires on. My manual P5 with conservative driving in getting me 12 litres/100km (~20mpg). Does that sound about right to everyone? To me, that is low ......

 

[speed5hornet]

i get about 22 mpg in winter in my manual 03' w/snow tires

 

[khaosman]

13mpg, but that was after i put the turbo on and was doing a lot of WOT tuning

 

[joe944]

20mpg, cold weather, city driving, having fun with my aem intake.

 

[bermankahns]

right now i have about 17-18mpg because i have no O2 sensors. at least i think thats the reason. they are the only codes showing up.

prolly close to 22, cold weather all city and air in tires were low cause my tires SUCK with cold air in the winter.

21.3mpg triple digits on the highway with shot primary 02 sensor (no signal code) and a short block in the back of the car. Highest 28.

 

[redpr5]

16mpg
horrible A/F map in the ecu and dirty injectors
injector cleaner helped a little bit but im still only at like 21-22
my 85 300zx gets better gas mileage than that and its a v6.

25.2. That included a few triple digit blasts thru the mountains in PA on my way to Carlisle last year on 76E.

is there any way to check your O2 sensors without taking it in to the dealer. I'm not too mechanically inclined. Like I said, I have never had a CEL. IS that the only way to tell if your sensors are bad?

Wow, I can't believe the mileage you guys can get down to. My worst was 26.5 mpg. I average 28-29

I agree. My worst before turbo was probably 25mpg.

ya im getting close to 21-22mpg here in Montreal during the winter. i'll do about 420-430km on 48 litres.

O2 sensors aren't all that expensive to replace.

+1 I think actually recorded like 12.5 mpg one time. Because of this I now only do like 5-10 tuning runs per tank of gas.

 

[shane02pro5]

1-1/2 mile drive to work average low is 12mpg no tuning just RUNNING! Best after turbo 25mpg all freeway! 25mpg is not as fun! I'll probably make a new record though now since I have a bad 2nd gear synchro and avoiding 3rd all together with a clanking sound. Remedy coming soon!

if it's bad the CEL will come up. and any autoparts store can check the codes for you and they do it for free.

About 130 kms almost to the tank = 2.36 l/km, 6.68 mpg or 42.31 l/100km

Oh it was on a track day.....

In winter I can get b/w 11 to 12 l / 100 km.

In summer I can get 9 l / 100 km.

EDIT : Sorry miscalculated milage.

WOW 18 wheelers get better gas milage pulling a load then you did! they get anywhere from 3-6mpg!

 

[Foolish]

0 MPG. I was sitting at a red light. Once it turned green, my mileage improved dramatically.
